cursor turned white

I somehow inadvertently turned my text cursor from black to white. How can I turn it black again?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.0

Typing bar disappears The app “Line” Recently when typing, there’s no typing bar on the keyboard. So, it’s really difficult to know whether the typing text is correct or not. Earlier, it never happened.

The pointer works fine, it's the text cursor that is changed. Found out it's not something I did, but rather the new operating system - Sonoma.

I would love this to happen - I seem to have a black pointer with a black outline that can be very difficult to see - I have selected various colours from the system settings pointer section and nothing changes - what am I doing wrong? (Up to date OS Sonoma 14?)
